Frequently asked questions about the Tesla referral
Everything people have asked me over two years of sharing referrals. Can't find your question? Read the step-by-step guide.
What do I get if I use your Tesla referral code?
Ordering with my referral code entitles you to 1,000 km of free Supercharging or, when Tesla's cash promo is live, €500 off the order instead. The active benefit appears in the order summary before payment.
Which models does the referral code work on in 2026?
In Italy the referral code is valid on Tesla Model 3 and Model Y ordered new from tesla.com/it_IT — the two models currently sold in Europe. Cybertruck isn't type-approved in Europe; Roadster is a separate reservation; Model S and Model X are no longer sold in Italy.
How do I apply the referral code to my order?
Open the referral link, sign in to (or create) your Tesla account, configure the car and proceed to order. The benefit is applied automatically in the final summary. Important: open the link BEFORE confirming the order — it isn't retroactive.
Does the referral stack with the Italian eco-bonus?
Yes. The referral benefit is applied by Tesla and is independent of the state eco-bonus: you can claim both if your configuration meets the scheme's requirements (e.g. €35,000 + VAT cap, scrappage, ISEE).
Can I use the referral code if I've already confirmed the order?
No. Tesla has confirmed that the referral code must be applied before the order is confirmed. Once confirmed, it cannot be added retroactively.
What do you get if I use your code?
Tesla credits €250 in Tesla Credits to my account, usable within 12 months on accessories, charging or future orders. The price you pay doesn't change: the buyer-side benefit is entirely yours.
Does the referral work for leases or rentals?
The referral programme applies to direct purchases of new vehicles on tesla.com/it_IT. For operational leases via Tesla Financial Services the benefits are normally honoured; for third-party leases it depends on the contract.
Is the referral code verified and active?
Yes — it's my personal referral code tied to my Italian Tesla account. I update it whenever Tesla changes the benefits (the last change was on 31 October 2024, when the rewards were halved).
Can I book a test drive with the referral active?
Yes. The test drive is free and doesn't consume the referral: it's there for you to see whether the car suits you. The code is only activated at the moment of ordering.
What if I already have a Tesla account but have never ordered?
You can still use a referral code: the requirement is being a first-time buyer of a Tesla vehicle, not a first-time site signup.
